Hi my name is Todd Christopher, and I'm 51 years old. I was born on February 4 1957. Through my childhood I had parents that loved me, and took care of me ,most importantly supported me. My childhood had a few bumpy roads, but they got better. Well here is my story for now. I was raised in Brookfield, Wisconsin. I was the last child out of three. My brother is 9 years older than me, and my sister is 6 years older than me.
My mother was a secretary for a doctors office. My dad owned a construction company.
Growing up we didn't have fancy computers or high tech machines like we do today. I went onto my first computer in 1978, and it was nothing like we have today. I had to use a typewriter before we had computers. Instead of listening of rap and hip hop, back then it was all about rock and roll. Also we didn't have Ipods or Mp3 players, we didn’t have any of that. We used to listen to rock or disco on a record player. Also television changed, It was black and white, and we only had a range of 5-7 channels. Another thing we didn't have was remotes. I had to get off the couch and change the channel. As you can see things today are nothing like it was when I was a kid.
I started working at a very young age. My first job was working for best friends father, Gaetano lococo. Mr. Lococo owned a terazzo floor business, and we layed terazzo and marble floors, my best friend guy and I were responsible for polishing the floors. While I was in high school, I worked as a shoe sales man, A gas station attendant, and delivering Television sets at hospitals. I went to UWM and then Concordia college and got a degree in business, after that I continued my education and got a degree in computer science from MBTI.
Fashion from the 60's was way different,
By 1969, the androgynous hippy look was in style. Both genders wore frayed bell-bottomed jeans, tie-dyed shirts, workshirts, and headbands.
Hairstyles-
Hair styles changed dramatically towards the end of the decade as men's hats went out of style, replaced by the bandanna if anything at all. As men let their hair grow long, Women's hair styles ranged from beehive hairdos in the early part of the decade to very short styles.
I grew up in the 60's and loved music like all the people from my generation. In the 60's the most popular musicians were Elvis Prestly, The Beatles, The rolling stones, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Led Zeplin, & The who. And a bunch of others. Those bands influenced me to work in a rock bar called Sugar mountain, Where I was a bar tender and ran a sound board for several well known bands, Such as Jone Jet, Quicksilver, and Cheap Trick. Also during this time the Vietnam war was at its peak, and congress eliminated the draft and started a draft lottery. In which the first 196 birthdays chosen were drafted my number was 220, which meant I didn't have to go in the army. At that time I didn't want to go in the army, I wanted to go to collage.
I moved out of my parents house at age 18 and rented a house and lived with a couple of friends. After working at Allen Bradley for a while, I met my wife in April 29th, 1990. In 1994 we had our third child. While working at Allen Bradley I bought a condominium at 2708 A south shore drive.
